The recipe calls for 5/8 cups butter and Angie wants to triple the recipe.
Therefore, if Angie is tripling the recipe, she is multiplying all of the ingredients in the recipe by 3.
So for the butter, this would be:
5/8 * 3 = 15/8
Next, we should turn this improper fraction into a mixed number so that we can compare it to the amount of butter that Angie has.
15/8 = 1 7/8
1 7/8 > 1 1/4
Thus, Angie DOES NOT have enough butter to triple the recipe.
Answer:
159
Step-by-step explanation:
10^2+(3+5)^2-5
-> 100 + (3+5)^2 -5
-> 100 + 8^2 - 5
-> 100 + 64 - 5
-> 159
